BUG Review
This unique volunter-built eco-hostel is a great place to stay. It is a sprawling complex that includes a large wooden building with the main common areas along eith some dormitories as well as cabins with additional accommodation. The common areas include a cosy lounge, a fully-equipped kitchen and a nice outdoor area with a seating around a big fireplace/pizza oven. There's no TV so everyone sits around every night chatting, which makes for a great atmosphere. The hostel provides cooked meals (and home brewed beer), which is great as it a long way to the nearest shop. It is accessible only by boat or by a four-hour walk (it is located midway along the Nydia Track) and it is popular with both hikers and environmentalists.
Price Dorm bed $28 ($25 BBH) Double/twin room $66 ($60 BBH) Camping $12 per person Prices are in New Zealand dollars and are inclusive of all taxes.
